specifically for the II?  Just the three, that I know of (GEM, GO, and
AUGE)  Usable on the IIGS?  maybe 15-20 more for sure, have to ask
Sequential Systems if they've added any to their list.

Add on top of that all the CDs from "develop" magazine before issue. um..
10, I think..

Let me put it this way.. I have a CD-ROM drive, and I use it a lot

well, yeah.. if I remember, though, all the develop CDs mentioned, as well
as the GEM,GO,AUGE disks have ProDOS partitions.. I would think any BBS
should be able to read at least THAT much.
